Manchin fights for coal\u2019s future | Charleston Gazette \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWest Virginians know Sen. Joe Manchin as a tireless advocate for coal throughout his time as both a U.S. senator and as the state\u2019s governor.\r\nSen. Manchin truly represents the voice of West Virginians and coal communities in Washington \u2014 voices too often drowned out by administration officials and lawmakers.\r\nThe senator recently was awarded the Washington Coal Club\u2019s Achievement Award. The award was timely, because Manchin and Rep. Ed Whitfield of Kentucky drafted legislation to counter stringent EPA regulations for new coal-fueled power plants.\r\nSen. Manchin recognizes the critical role coal plays in powering America\u2019s energy needs affordably and reliably. Every day, he strives to work across party lines to ensure coal continues to fuel economic growth and provide energy security.\r\nCongratulations to Sen. Manchin on a worthy and well-deserved achievement. West Virginia is lucky to have an advocate in Washington who fights every day for coal\u2019s future.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t    By:\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t    Mike Duncan, president American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity Washington\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\tSource:\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLetter to the Editor\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/in-the-news?ContentRecord_id=76096ed8-1c1e-4c55-9dba-9601e0070194"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.7786169666796923, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
